Cat Photos to Make You Happy
I don’t know about you, but I need Meow Monday more than ever! There is a lot of difficult news out there right now, and I really enjoy taking a break with some cute cat photos.
We had an unexpected trip to the vet with Mango last week. She did great in the carrier this time and was an excellent patient! They ended up diagnosing her with epilepsy. I detailed everything below.
Mack & Felix had very uneventful weeks. Felix got to go outside and Mack took lots of naps! Sounds perfect to me!

A little more on Mango. A few weeks ago Chicken Legs noticed she was drooling. We checked her mouth and nothing lookedd weird, so we just kept an eye on her. The next week she knocked over the lamp on our nightstand in the middle of the night. We got up to see what was going on and she was drooling again. She also made a weird meow. Last Monday, I heard a noise and some meows in the bedroom. I went back there and found Mango drooling. We immediately took her into the vet’s office. They took some blood and ran some tests. They ruled out everything and diagnosed her with epilepsy by exclusion. She is taking some medicine twice a day.
She doesn’t have grand mal seizures. Her seizures are VERY mild. Hopefully, the medicine helps and she doesn’t have any more seizures.
I could do a whole post of pictures of Mack on his back. It is his preferred way to hang out. I have hundreds of photos like this on my phone!
He is SO funny and CHILL. I pet his belly more than his head and back. He loves a good belly rub. I’ve never had a cat quite like him.
Grandpa Felix had a good week. Chicken Legs took him for several outdoor adventures. He mostly sits in the mulch in the shade. He walks from the front of the house around to the back and then starts heading up the deck stairs. The adventures wear him out! He sleeps the rest of the day.
I hope everyone has a PURRFECT week!

This is for Lisa g with the 18 year old cat Jackie if she’s not eating a lot and skinny she probably has medical issues like thyroid problems you need to get it to a vet they do have payment plans
Many people I know who have worked with vets say try baby food when a cat won’t eat.

Hope the medicine does the trick for Mango. You have all beautiful kitties. I lost one of mine last week. She was 11 years old and had stomach cancer.
So sorry, Simone, to hear about your loss. I lost Scooter to intestinal cancer in June 2017, and still grieve deeply. I have adopted Cosette, who is FIV+. I love her to bits, but always talk and think about Scooty. May you find peace, and your heart heal.
Love and enjoy your pictures and stories of your beautiful cats!
I just love all the pics of all the cuddly babies you show. I have 5 rescue cats. They are all indoor and the best littles furballs in the world. They make my day every single day. I just love them all so much. Your site just puts a smile on my face no matter how hard my day has been. Keep them coming. I will send in some pics of mine soon. Thank you again
Oh my I was scared when I saw that Mango had to go to the vet but am glad they were able to figure out what was going on and get her the medication she needs. All your cats are so cute and fun to hear about. Love their photos every week.
I’m so sorry about Mango. The meds will help for sure. She’s so beautiful. My cat Jackie is 18, very skinny and eats very little and I have no money for the vet. I’m trying supplements but his issues continue. I’m scared and don’t wanna lose him. I need money for the vet and have no way to get any. I watching him deligently. Praying too. As long as he eats something no matter how little, I have hope. I love your pictures and your a great cat parent. Keep up the good work Steph. Happy labor day. Lisa Giltner
If you can afford some hamburger and rice, try this. My vet told me about this. He lived another 3 years.
